Curious Story of a Warning That Came From Slumberland. The following prophetic dream was related by tue president of a theolog- ical seminary: It had been the custom of one of the professors to invite all the students, with members of the faculty, to din- ner at a hotel on the annual Thanks- giving day. On the morning of that day the wife of this professor suddenly fell dead in her dressing room at ¥ o'clock. That morning at 7 o'clock one of the students woke up from a bad dream. He had dreamed that he sat down with the usual company at the Thanks- giving dinner and that immediately one of his fellow students rose in his place, saying that it was his painful duty to announce to the company that the wife of their host had suddenly died at 8 o'clock that morning. This dream, however, he had in- stantly banished from his mind as an uncanny probability and had thought no more about it. But on going to the dinner and taking his seat with the company he was unspeakably amazed to see the student seen in the dream rise and to hear him make the announcement made in the dream.~— Exchange.

The bar- | rister after a most able and brilliant defense of the culprit secured an ac- quittal.

The triumphant counsel answered, “My good man, do anything you can, but for the love of heaven don't ever cook for me!” Potter Wasps at Work, The family eumenidae, or solitary wasps, contain some curious workers. Some are miners and dig tiny tunnels in the earth; some are carpenters and cut channels in wood and then divide the space into chambers by partitions of mud: some build oval or globellke mud nests on branches or twigs. This home may be partitioned into several tiny rooms, into which are put various small insects captured by the mother Xp and upon which the young wasps Stars That Outshine the Sun. One of the government astronomers, referring to stars that are so distant that they have no measurable parallax, asserts that one of these, the brilliant Canopus, can be said with confidence to be thousands of times brighter than our sun. Whether we should say 20,- 000, 10,000 or 5.000 no one can decide, The first magnitude stars, Rigel and Speca, also are at an immeasurable distance and must, in view of their ac- toal brightness. enormously outshine the sun. NO NAME FOR A POET. Miller Was Open to Conviction and Shed the Heavy Burden. “Cincinnatus Heine” was the name that the parents of Joaquin Miller be- stowed on him at bis christening. How the poet came to adopt the name “Joaquin,” under which be is univer- sally known. was told by Mr. Charles Phillips, editor of the San Francisco Monitor. Miss Ina Coolbrith. of whom he speaks, is the California poetess who has been called the “Sappho of the west.” In 1870. when he came down from Oregon and published his first little book of poems, entitled “Joaquin et al.” he told Miss Coolbrith of his de- termination to go to London and win fame. “How in the world,” she asked bim, “do you expect to climb Parnassus with sueh a nume as you bave? Mil ler is bad enough, but Cincinnatus Heine is impossible!” “But what can 1 do?" Miller asked. “It's my nawe, isn't it?” “Why don't you take some name that will identify you with Califor- nia?' Miss Coolbrith rejoined. “Take the name of your first book; call your self Joaquin.” “By George, I'll do it!" said Miller. And from that day be signed himself “Joaquin Miller." Alike, “My dear, having your father to live with us won't work.” “But neither will father.”—Baltl Hore American The nappinens | vw. life consists Iv something to do, sumething to love and gomething to hope for.—Dr. Chalmers. “Either” and “Neither.” There are two or three things about these two words that one should re- member. In the first place, they should never be used in connection with more than two things—as: “It was either Tuesday or Wednesday,” not “either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday” “it was neither Tuesday nor Wednesday,” not “neither Tuesday, Wednesday nor Thursday.” Then, either should not Le used in the sense of each, as “they walked on, one on either side of the road.” It should be one on “each” side of the road. The third caution is about the pronunciation. Some per- sons insist that they shouid be pro- nounced “4-ther” and “ni-ther.,” with the “i” long. But this is more an af- fectaticn perhaps than anything else. The best authorities agree that the right pronunciation is “ether” and “ne-ther.”"—New York World. 8ly Old Commodore. “When Commodore Vanderbilt was alive,” says a New York Central offi- cial, “the board of directors of the New York Central used to find their work all cut out for them when they met. All they had te do was to ratify his plans and adjourn. Yet they had their uses. Occasionally a man would come to him with some scheme which he did not care to refuse outright. “My directors are a difficult body of men to handle,’ he would say. ‘I'll submit it to ‘em. but I warn you that they are hard to manage.’ “The matter would be submitted to the board when it assembled and promptly rejected. “ “There. the commodore would say when his visitor came to learn the re- sult. ‘I did the best 1 could, but I told you in advance thet my directors were an obstinate lot." 'THE"BLUE OF THE SKY. it Is Caused by the Oxygen in the Aig Says a Scientist. Professor Spring of the University of Liege has a theory of his own regard. fug the blue of the sky. Scientists have tried to explain the blue of the sky ever since the days of Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac New- ton. Some have held that it was due to the polarization of the solar light, while others have held that the blue- ness is due to the reflection, or, rather, the vibration, upon the minute drops of water which the atmosphere holds in suspension or upon the matter in the atmosphere, according to Tyndall. Professor Spring has rejected all these theories, denying the *‘dust theo- ry” altogether. He holds with Lord Rayleigh that instead of the dust in- creasing the blueness it diminishes it greatly. And according to Professor Spring, all of the appearances of blue tints in the atmosphere are explicable when we consider liquid oxygen. “Liquid air” is known to be decidedly blue in color, so the contention that blueness is due to the oxygen in the air seems to be substantiated. If condensed and liquid air are blue fn color it is most probable that the blueness of the sky is due to the oxy- gen in it.—New York World. LIVE THE FULL LIFE.
